I assume virtually everyone in this place is using some third party ROM. Many of you probably rocking Banana ROM off your Alcatel z657 bought at Boost Mobile in 2012.
But is there any simpleton here like myself who is on stock android? You know, the middle age dude who has “Privacy” as a hobby because he can’t afford or have time for a real one. 😶🌫️
I use my cellphone only to message relatives and play some MP3s. It’s a Samsung J2 Core I bought in 2019 because it was the cheapest non-second-hand smartphone I could find at the time. Its last security patch was in 2021, and they dropped support. It’s barely compatible with the current Google ecosystem, and I’m probably getting locked out of it anytime now because apps will refuse to work… even LineageOS, which supposedly increases the life of smartphones, doesn’t support it… I’m sad I’m going to have to spend money on one of these sometime soon even though it’s still working.
